**About the Author**

International bestselling author Mary Ting resides in Southern California with her husband and two children. She enjoys oil painting and making jewelry. Writing her first novel, Crossroads Saga, happened by chance. It was a way to grieve the death of her beloved grandmother, and inspired by a dream she once had as a young girl.

When she started reading new adult novels, she fell in love with the genre. It was the reason she had to write one-Something Great. Hence, Mary's pen name, M. Clarke? She tours with the Magic Johnson Foundation to promote literacy and her children’s chapter book-No Bullies Allowed.

*My Thoughts*

Note: This review contains NO spoilers

Whoa!! Oh Mary... Why do you do this to me?!?! You make fall in love with your stories. Book of Watchers is the latest story that I completely loved from beginning to end. This had elements of suspense, mystery, action, and horror in which was well balanced in creating the right atmosphere that kept me at the "edge of my seat." Every element balanced out the story giving me all the chills, the questions, the feels that kept me turning the pages.

The way Mary can create these incredibly vivid descriptions of a world full of the supernatural transported me into this imaginative world of hers. It was dark and intense, but yet, it will tug on your heart-strings. As for all her characters, each with their own personalities and emotional baggage that felt so real. The way she describes her characters, brought them out vividly in my imagination.

As for the story, I loved it! A combination of the various genres I enjoy reading, Mary effortlessly weaved these genres into a flowing story that drew me in to these characters lives and the secrets they hold. There are a good amount of secrets there, too. It is definitely something that will make you go... "Hmmm...🤔." The twists that Mary embedded throughout the story made for a good mystery, too. As secrets were unraveled, more secrets started to reveal itself as well. But then, at the end.... Really, Mary!!??!! Wow... That was subtle... 😄 A cliffhanger?!? Ugh!!! Wow! That "threw me for a loop." This cliffhanger was not a "slap in your face" kind of cliffhanger. It was more like a slow burn until you got to the fire... 😄 Ugh! Now, I really, really NEED book 2 to find out what other secrets that need to be told. Gah!!! 😡 Thanks a lot, Mary!!! 😋
